    Corporations and law firms want to keep up-to-date with the wide range of initiatives and codes of practice on CSR, and with policies being used by other companies.

    The book is divided into four sections as follows.

    1. Trends in CSR

    This includes trends in different jurisdictions and areas which may be subject to legislation rather than "soft law".

    2. Multinational Initiatives

    This includes coverage of source materials including codes of practice published by organisations such as the UN, the ICC, the OECD, the Global Reporting Initiative and various financial institutions.

    3. Industry Sectors

    This includes CSR principles in specific sectors such as banking and finance, clothing, pharmaceuticals, food and drink, energy and professional services.

    4. Private Initiatives

    This includes examples of CSR policies from international corporations such as Coca Cola, Dell, Ericson, Hewlett-Packard, Ford, General Electric, Mitsubishi, Shell and Wal Mart.
